Hemodynamic effects of pumpless extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for chronically pressure-overloaded right heart failure in a canine experimental model

Purpose This study was done to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of a pumpless implantable extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit between the right ventricle (RV) and left atrium (LA) in a chronic canine model with an RV pressure overload.
